About this tour
A 3-hour guided bar hopping tour through Sapporo's Susukino and Tanuki-koji nightlife districts. You'll visit three bars chosen to match your group's tastes—ranging from popular spots to quieter venues—and sample local sake, wine, or craft beer alongside 3–4 dishes spread across the stops. Your English or Japanese-speaking guide leads a leisurely walk, sharing context on Sapporo's alcohol culture and the bars themselves. Best suited to drinkers who want insider access without planning the route solo.

What to expect
Your guide meets you in Susukino or Tanuki-koji and outlines the evening's plan based on your group's drink and food preferences. You'll stroll together to the first bar, order a drink, and nibble on one or two dishes whilst your guide talks through the venue and local alcohol history. The same pattern repeats at bars two and three, with the guide adjusting the route on the fly if the group wants a different vibe or style. The tour wraps after your final drink; no set end point, just a natural close in the nightlife precinct.
